About the book

Gideon Jerusalem is one of Israel's founding heroes. Like the Jewish state itself, he is a complex character rife with contradictions. Loosely autobiographical and drawing on the author's own family involvement with the highest echelons of Israeli political life, this novel tells of the emergence of modern Israel; of a destructive father-son relatinship in which both succumb to the lure of different cultures; and of a fated love story.
